The «Lac de Mayen Bike» is an easily accessible, 11 km loop along forest paths and across meadows. Moreover, it passes next to refreshment stalls offering a welcome break and famous, home-made tarts.

The itinerary starts in the village centre leading up to the upper village and then uphill to the Lac de Mayen.
